Like I've said before, their roster stinks and they could add a lot of talent with extra picks. I'm still not holding my breath, though. It sure would be nice!

I like the price tag, a 3rd and a 7th. Well worth it, IMO. It usually doesn't take TT long to get used to someone new and KB is a HUGE target.

I disagree. They will decide after the season and Taylor is playing well. Peterman may yet win the job or they draft the heir apparent. I think all of those things are more likely than Cam coming to Buffalo.

Tyrod will never be a QB that can carry a team on his back, but he is making the most of it with minimal help. He's never had a solid WR corps for more than a handful of games. That he has done so much with so little is a credit to him and his work ethic. I still wouldn't object to drafting another QB this year and making him fight to keep his job. An elite QB can make up for a lot of holes elsewhere on your roster.

With Gaines out, look for Johnson and Wright to struggle. If Poyer isn't healthy, even more trouble. No Darius means we'll be soft against the run as well. I see trouble brewing for Sunday.

Don't forget to print out a roster if you're going to a 2018 Bills game. You'll need it to keep track of all the new faces.

It seems Jacksonville inherited all dead space that Dareus would have caused us, so I like this move. Still, our DL looks really bad right now. Hughes is having his best season to date, but Kyle is nowhere near probowl caliber any more. Shaq is a real disappointment thus far and our remaining DT's are just dumpster diver quality. At LB, Lorenzo is the only LB having a decent season and Lorenzo's play has also fallen off. Our defense may struggle as we near the end of the season. They've looked pretty soft these last 2 games anyways. How is our cap space looking now?

This is a good trade if both of the following conditions are met. 1. Dareus never plays at a probowl level again and 2. We have no dead weight for him any more. Jacksonville just bought his contract too.

I agree, OP. I grew up in Erie County as a life long Bills fan. I've relocated, but if they removed the team from WNY, I'd simply lose ALL interest in the NFL.

Due to the jaw dropping stupidity of a few of these responses, it would be a good idea to end this thread.

I'll believe it when I see it. The article also says Dawkins has been "solid". Sounds like they're making this up. Besides, Glenn will be healthy again, eventually.

Agreed, but I am still going with 'we're a .500 team until proven otherwise. The defense is better, but not great. Our DL is slightly above average, our LB corps is weak. We still could use an upgrade at CB, IMO. Kyle will retire and Lorenzo is not playing as well in this system. He may retire also. We still have work to do on both sides of the ball.

No kidding. Chan knew how to use him. Too many coaches are complicated for being "flexible" with their schemes when tney are not. I hope he gets another shot with someone that understands how to use him effectively.

Sure we need a better QB. We need an elite WR, at least 2 better OL, at least 2 better LB's, better depth behind Shady, better depth at CB and a new starting DT to replace Kyle. Additionally, Dareus and Lawson need to step up their game a LOT. Still, I'd start with QB, but I wouldn't dump Tyrod until another QB shows clear evidence that they are better.

...And we'll be a .500 team (give or take a game) when the season is through. Nothing new. I'm just waiting to see how Mr. Beane's first draft and offseason turn out with all those high picks.

Just because all the QB's we've had recently have been bad doesn't mean we should put the best of the bad QB's on the wall. He wasn't even good. Mediocre at best. The #4 defense carried that team to 9 wins, not Orton. And since when did Kelley win "nothing"? I've been watching the Bills since 1960 and I can assure you that we've had several better QB's who aren't up there like Flutie, Ferguson, Kemp, Lamonica, Bledsoe and Shaw were all better. Maybe some of those guys are already on the wall, though. Tyrod may be better too. That's debatable, but not out of the question. Besides, Orton only played 1 season here. Let's put Chris Spielman up there first or any number of guys from the best D ever to take the field for an AFL team and gave us back to back championships, including a 23-0 drubbing of the league's best offense in 1965. I can think of a LOT of former Bills who are more deserving.

He's no better than Tyrod, IMO. Why bother? I say draft another QB and stack more talent at the position and let them compete for the job. If, by some miracle, an established QB becomes available, grab 'em. I know I have a better chance of getting hit by lighning, but they should call the Colts and see if there's any chance they'd part with Luck. The Colts have perhaps the worst overall roster in the NFL other than TY and Luck. Maybe they would go for a slew of high picks and a new QB in a draft that might have several good ones. Luck can't do it alone. Yeah. I know it'll never happen, but stranger things have happened. Still, a late 1st round QB and Peterman competing with Taylor might just work out. I don't think the top 2 (or so) QB's in this draft will be available to us. Still too many QB hungry teams out there.

Agreed, but the receivers need to get open too. The protection must be there, of course, but I always believed that playcalling is an underappreciated art. Keeping the defense guessing really helps. We also are using a very different blocking scheme which may not be a good fit given the personnel we have. Tyrod must attempt the throws, but continuously throwing into tight windows can lead to more picks. Your observation is correct, though. Just adding my own. There's plenty of blame to go around.

Right. If you have NFL Gamepass, go look at the play. The pass was a bit high too, not that he shouldn't cath a poorly placed ball once in a while.

How did everyone suddenly forget how well Sammy played when healthy? Better question: Why did the Rams even trade for him if they aren't going to throw the long ball to him regularly? Dumb move on their part.

OMG! More of this BS again...

He's no better than Tyrod. Why bother? I say draft a QB and let him sit behind Taylor. If he or Peterman can beat out Tyrod for the starting job, so be it.

HAHAHAHAHAHA !!!

I only watch Bills games. If they ever move this team to another city, I'm done watching football, period.

There is a serious league wide lack of OL talent. Several high draft picks at OT, in particular, have never reached the level expected of them. It used to be QB's, but now with a few young QB's starting to play better, OL is a big concern for many teams -- not just Buffalo.
